​Top 10 Most Influential Rappers of All Time

February 27th, 2017By Eli SolidumThe task of choosing which of hip-hop's children have done the most for the good of the game is not an easy one. I chose to take in account 3 factors, talent, popularity, and impact on the game.

9. André 3000Andre 3stacks comes in at number 9 on our list. Why? Well, who else can kill every verse as consistently as he does? And who else can drop dozens of badass verses, take a few years off to do Gillette commercials, then come back stronger than ever? Andre is constantly proving that he still has a lot left in the tank.

The face of Outkast managed to find solo success unlike his groupmate, but he was always bound for greater things anyway. However, it was with Outkast that Andre did his best work, dropping 5 platinum albums and one Diamond album. Yeah, over 10 million records sold on one album. Can't argue with that.
